Rituals

These days I am more of an observer rather than a doer.Many coaching students and their mothers or grand-mothers live nearby.I see the ladies go to a park in front of my home early morning and conduct various rituals.One comes with a small utensil containing I don't know what, to be laid down at the feet of the God,while another plucks flowers to do the same.There is another one who pours water at the root of a tree-perhaps Peepal.

I believe they do all  this for the sucess,health and long life of their family.That much is obvious.But how effective these rituals are in the house of Lord?This I don't know.Do these small gestures change our destiny?Can they?Are we or aren't we predestined from the very beginning?A famous idiom proclaims-as you sow,so you shall reap;but can such rituals change the outcome of our actions?This question puzzles me.Can any one enlighten me?

What Is Your Special Characteristic ?

We meet countless people in our life-time in as many circumstances and at as many places.Some,we forget immediately,or soon after,but but some leave an indelible imprint on our heart or brain.It is not even as if we have a strong relationship with them.Even chance-encounters can have that effect.In a previous post titled  "When Strangers Leave Pleasant Memories" I recounted a few incidents where random remarks of strangers are still fresh in my mind,even after decades.Perhaps they revealed an outstanding characteristic of those persons.

This leads to the main subject of this post.What is it in a person's behaviour which tags along whenever we think of that person?Which characteristic is his/her special feature?One which sticks to them in our memory?For example a friend of mine is mostly very reserved,quiet and a loner.It sticks to her like the bindi on her forehead.Yet another one is friendly and gregarious.A meeting with her will pep you up for hours.Another acquaintance of mine is the exact opposite-always moaning about her health or life-conditions.One more,whom I often encounter asks endless personal,irrelevant questions.No wonder people shun her at first sight.

Now to the next subject-what is your special characteristic-one which sticks to you in others' mind?Can you come up with a quick answer?So difficult,no?I myself don't know how you all remember me.It is difficult to answer this question,but if I did,I could take a step or two to improve myself.Do you all ever ponder about this?Do let me know.

Does God Exist ?

This topic has puzzled man since eons.Now a famous scientist of Harvard University Dr Willie Soon has stated:

"One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of a very high order, and he used very advanced mathematics in constructing the universe,".He said this in a piece in the Scientific American.He further said that life we know wouldn't have existed if the gravitational quality of various objects had been slightly higher or lower that what it is.

Now read a post I wrote two years ago on a similar theme

This was from a layman's point of view.I have never been a student of science-only an avid interest in Astronomy.Don't my views synchronize with those of a great scientist?Ha ha!
